[MoVolvos]

Those who like manuals trans will like this S60R:

and the price is about $3200 US.

Seems awfully reasonable for 135,759 miles?! The question is how to get it to NC

That does look REALLY clean! Price isn't too bad either.

Almost like getting a new car. Can swap parts all day but it's work to keep the body and interior from aging.

P2 S60 cars really don't bring much on the used market.

Impractical for a family and not sporty enough for the enthusiast, unless it's an R.

If this one was in Charlotte it might be in your driveway already.

It probably would! That would be an awesome project. Engines are easy to source, just find a B5244T5 and swap everything over.

400HP $2000 - BLOWN HEAD GASKET 1999 Volvo S70 T5 146k Built motor,

Fun while it lasted.

It wasn’t even a stick shift, so transmission was next.

I've got some M56 swaps within easy access, so that would be no problem

So, if you had to choose, though the last one is not a project?

I’d still take the S70 over all of them. Although that S80 looks pretty nice!

Now if that S80 was a V8.... I’d be slightly less likely to pick the S70, but I still would.

Thanks! The S80 is fast, elegant and would be for my wife's but the other two, though she would drive it is mostly for my tinkering enjoyment. I'm not sure I am capable of properly checking out a V8 though it's the engine I would like to see in our next Volvo. Dilemmas, dilemmas.
